    Summary:

    Between 1900 and 1907, in the forested foothills of the Himalayas, a large Bengal tiger locals called the Champawat Man-Eater claimed 436 lives. Desperate for help, authorities appealed to Jim Corbett, a local hunter and officer in the army. Like a police detective, Corbett questioned witnesses and tracked the tiger's movements, while it began to hunt Corbett in return.
